THE OIL CONSPIRACY.

It will be several months before the
financial results Of the recent trial of the
Everests in Buffalo will be exactly known.
Motions for a new trial will be argued, ap-
peals taken, and every court possible tested
before the verdict of guilty" rendered by
the Buffalo court will be accepted by the
defendants. The trial was for conspiracy on
the part of Hiram B. Everest and his son.,
Charles M. Everest of Rochester, for conspi-
racy to destroy the business of the Buffalo
Lubricating Oil company. 1t was charged
that the defendants, managers of another
oil company, connected with the Standard
Oil Company, in order to crush out the Buff
falo concern, employed one Miller, who was
in the service of the Buffalo company, and the
manager of the works, to build and manage
the works of the Buffalo company in such a
way that they would take fire and be destroy
ed, Miller testified that he was hired by the
Everests to destroy the Buffalo %company's
works, and he did arrange it so that the gas
from the works took fire and exploded, doing
great damage and in%terrupting the operation Of
the works. 1t is one of the most interesting
public questions ever presented in the courts
of this country, and the final decision will
serve as a valuable precedent.-BOStOn EUeatng

A MAY Foo.

Has the cycle of the seasons
changed, or was the Poet in error
when he spoke of "Lovely London in
luxurious May " Yesterday morning
"loyeIy London" was developed in
atmospheric gloom, and it required
little less than poetic Imagination to
realise that it was not a sudden re
version TO November. This strange
disregard of the time of the year was
hardly rendered more endurable to
citizens Of the metropolis by learning
from our Paris correspondent that
the inhabitants of the French capital
had been basking in brilliant sun
shine. Put into prosaic but striking
figures, there was between London
and Paris, on Monday, a variation of
81 degrees of tempcrature-all the
difference between summer and win
ter and while we were held in a
damp and cold north.easterIy current
fresh from the Polar regions, the gay
Lutetians were breathing a soft and
balmy southerIy air. After all, fhe
reason of this strange contrast is not
far to seek. A little depression" was
urging its way between the two first
cities of the world; and while we
were on the Polar, Paris was on the
tropical side of it. At eight o'clock
yesterday morning the thermometer
at Clearinghouse registered 40 degrees,
and there was practically no difference
between the wet and the dry bulb
the significance of which is that the
air was completely saturated-fully
charged with moisture. With all
this there was no fog. Then gradual.
Iy the two or three millions Of Chin
neys all over the 1872 square miles that
lesser London covers began to pour
out their clouds Of unburnt coal, and
this wasted fuel, settling in a nearly
motionless atmosphere, produced
the heavy pail that made central and
a large part of suburban London SO
dull and miserable. The dark cloud
washeaviest overthe City properin the
morning, rendering gas and electric
lightnecessary, but in heSfternoonthe
black canopy enshrouded the whole
metropolis, from Hampstead to Dull
witch, from HaWmersmith to Rottler-
hithe. AS if TO cAmpAete the excep-
tional character of a truly phenome-
nal day, the darkness at its worst wa
relieved i'll several districts by vivid
flashes of lightning, followed ibythun-
der, It would seem from the latest
reports hat the depression is passing
away and the temperature generally
rising, SO that we may hope that the

EGYPTIAN HALL ILLUSIONS.

To the marvellous illusions and
remarkable feats of conjuring dexter
iiy which for many weeks rast have
so greatly puzzled and pleased visi-
tors to the PiccadilIy "tEome Of
Mystery" an important addition has
now been made. Yesterday afternoon
a very numerous asse nblage of
astonished spectators witnessed the
production OF Il startling novelty,
invented and presented by the inge-
NOUS Hungarian magician, Buatier
de Kolta, whose feats OF Iegerdemain
are so prominently distinguished by
originality Of design and neatness of
execution. His latest invention,
entitled lie Cocoon" is supposed to
illustrate the development of a silk
worm from the chrysaIis into a moth,
anil the hint taken from nature has
been turned to account with wonder
lui art. NJ. de Kolta first suspends
upon a line stretched across the stage
a slight framework of paper, upon
which he draws an outline of the
worm about to undergo its sn ccessive
transformations. In full view of the
audience, without being masked by
any mode Of concealment, the sus-
pended paper frame.expnndS into a
large golden cocoon, from which
energies a real lively and lovely
Young lady, furnished with wings to
represent the moth prepared for
flight. Unable to find any rea=ona-
bic solution of the astounding problem
so effectively submitted to them, the
majority of the spectators at once
held up their hands in amazelnent
and then brought them into ready
contact to besloW upon the clever
coniuror successive rounds Of applause
thoroughly Wen deserved. The very
amusing and exceedingly attractive
programme presented at the Egyptian
Hall very advantageousIy retains Mr..
j. N. MaskeIyne's laughable magical
sketch called "Will, the Witch, and
the " atchmen," rendered more per-
p%Iexiog than ever by Il multiplication
of the mysterious disappearances
taking place during the action; and
the additional feats OF modern magic
performed by NJ. de koIta are rem
dered much more effective and enter
